Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, March 27, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Pay the TSA begging for a deal, med school discrimination and signature on money. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the president announced that he will sign an executive order to pay TSA workers during the partial government shutdown. Speaking of Democrats, he wrote, they almost destroyed our country, allowing 25 million people to enter from prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums, those that are drug dealers and thousands of murderers, many of whom killed more than one person. I'm going to sign an order instructing the secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen, who was just confirmed the other day, to immediately pay our TSA agents in order to address this emergency situation and to quickly stop the Democrat chaos at the airports. We are now on day 42 of this partial government shutdown. The president said he is extending the pause on strikes of Iranian energy plants by 10 days, stating that Iran is begging to make a deal. He wrote, as per Iranian government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the the period of energy plant destruction by 10 days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8pm Eastern. He said in the Oval Office yesterday we estimated it would take approximately four to six weeks to achieve our mission. 26 days in, we are extremely a lot ahead of schedule. The Iranian regime is now admitting to itself that they've been decisively defeated. They now have a chance to make a deal, but that's up to them. And they'll tell you we're not negotiating. We will not negotiate. Of course they're negotiating. They've been obliterated. Who wouldn't negotiate? The federal government has opened up investigations into how race is considered an emissions at three medical schools, Stanford University, Ohio State and University of California, San Diego. There was a 2023 Supreme Court decision forbidding affirmative action in college admissions. And the Trump administration is demanding that these universities show proof that they are abiding by this Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court said that race could be considered if the student talks about how it has affected their life in a student essay, for example. But Trump has raised concerns that colleges and universities are using these personal statements as a proxy for race, which he said is illegal discrimination. President Trump, his signature will be added to future US Paper currency. He will become the first sitting president whose name will appear on paper money. Also, two coins with his image will be on them, a dollar coin and a special 24 karat commemorative gold coin. Calvin Coolidge was the only other sitting president to have a coin with his image on it.

On this Friday, there is a quiet campaign going on in conservative circles for the United States to pull out of NATO. That is somewhat understandable because the Europeans are certainly not proactive in fighting evil on the planet. President Trump is unpopular among NATO leaders because he forced them to pay their allotted dues, which they decline to do for decades. Spain still considerably behind in its financial obligation. The Spanish also insulted the Trump administration by threatening to deny landing privileges to US Warplanes on their way to the Middle East. I believe Spain should be sanctioned by NATO, perhaps expelled, but I would not totally bail on the alliance because that would help Europe's largest problem, Putin. It is easy to envision the maniacal Russian dictator destabilizing the Baltic states as well as Eastern European in general. Moldova, we hardly knew you. However, the NATO countries need to wise up and recognize that it is American muscle that keeps the continent viable. And if the US Needs help, NATO should be there whether they like our policies or not. That's what friends are for. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billorilly.com, name in town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail. Ralph, what is the solution for weakness in White House messaging? Republicans running for office are weak. If they don't harp on the bad job Democrats are doing well, they're going to harp on that. The White House messaging. It's a very good question you're asking. I think there should be a messaging czar. So all of the various departments have spokespeople and you know, they're pretty good. They're articulate and the president has his spokespeople. But on complicated issues, it should be one person, good historical background, understands, you know, what the issue is. That would come out maybe once a week and talk to the press. I think that would be a good thing to do. Mark, concierge, remember, it's a crime to yell fire in a crowded theater. Okay. Logically, it should be a crime. Circulate false statements. Lying is a crime when it results in harm to others. American people are being harmed. Yeah, but the First Amendment, you have to prove that a the false statement was made knowing that it was false. That's very hard to do. Okay. Because they go, no, no, I was somebody told First Amendment overrides a lot of that. Lewis Thomas, Buckeye Arizona just got a signed copy of Killing the Witches when I signed up for concierge membership that that as a perk, become a concierge member on billow riley.com get a signed book, any book you want. I gave the book to my 45 year old stepson after I finished reading it. He loved it and is ordering two more of your killing books. He said he had learned more from your books than anyone taught him in high school. Yeah, that's why I wrote them. You read all the books? All the Killing and Confronting. You'll know more than any historian in a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 513 years ago today, a Spanish sailor approached the southeast coast of North America. He named the massive peninsula he saw the Land of Flowers, or in his native language, Florida. Here's the story of Ponce de Leon. Born 1860 to a noble family, young Ponce served in the military before being appointed the royal governor of San Juan, now known as Puerto Rico. During his travels, he became obsessed with rumors of a magical spring somewhere in the tropics. The water could heal the sick. Those who drank from its source would live forever. The Fountain of Youth. In the spring of 1513, the Spaniard and his crew landed near present day St. Augustine. His camp was the first European outpost in what would become the United States of America. To ease critics back in Madrid, Ponce claimed his journey was also a quest for gold. Eventually, Ponce de Leon searched the Everglades, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the Gulf of Mexico for the Fountain of Youth. He did not find it, but he traded information with native tribes and gained knowledge of the new world. In 1521, Ponce de Leon returned to Florida in a bid to establish a permanent Spanish colony. Hostile natives attacked his expedition. The party retreated to Cuba, where Ponce died from wounds he suffered in battle. He never found the fountain, which may have cured him. Ponce de Leon was 46 years old when he died. And here's something else you might not know. While de Leon is celebrated for his adventures, it's also notorious for his brutal treatment of the native tribes. After several massacres, the king of Spain demoted Ponce, and he was replaced by the descendant of another famous explorer, the son of Christopher Columbus. Back in a moment.
